Martin Fry
Martin Fry - along with Mark White - is the lead singer of the 1980's new-wave band ABC. During the 80s, Martin and ABC produced five hit albums including 'Beauty Stab'(1983), 'Alphabet City' (1987) and, their biggest hit, 'The Lexicon of Love' (1982) which reached No.1 in the UK. Their highest chart position on the singles chart was 'The Look of Love' peaking at No.4. A long-time fan of 'Smokey Robison', Martin's song 'When Smoky Sings' made the top twenty: it was a tribute to the singer.

His music with ABC has featured in TV and Film including The Office (2001) and The Firm (2009). ABC had three No.1 singles on the U.S. dance charts: 'The Look of Love', 'Be Near Me' (1985) and 'When Smokey Sings' (1987). They are one of the bands who originated from the UK city of Sheffield along with Heaven 17 and The Human League.
